Volvo EX30 - Google Play Store & Assistant demo 

While I was watching this video, the house heating was turned on, Spotify started playing in the sitting room, and I was told it would take 17 hours to drive to Turning Torso !!!

Ordered my EX30 last night. Thanks for posting the videos❤

Super informative videos of the EX30. Thank you for posting these 👍

Awesome video, always wonder what level infotainment has reached. Super useful!

Bellissimi video, anche io ho preso una EX30 ( core perche' sono povero ) , ma mi piace come stai spiegando le varie funzioni

I have a feeling Volvo don’t allow voice assistance so saying “Hey Google” to change driving functions for safety reasons. Because your passengers could say it whilst you’re on the road and change your driving functions without you wanting to. However, simple happy medium is allowing the voice control button on the steering wheel and the driver saying the command to activate changing driving functions because only the driving has access to that.

Greatest car on planet earth.

Love this guy. Have test driven an EX30 and he is spot on with the testing and things that are bad (and good!). Really weird that Volvo couldn’t do this themselves. The buttons on the steering wheel, for example, just obviously don’t work half the time. FYI if you’re in the UK I found that I had to say “BBC Radio 4” for it to tune into digital and actually play something. Saying “Radio 4” just returned FM static, even after I manually tuned it in and added it to FM favourites.

Can you please demonstrate all the various driving Assistant Modes, like the Pilot Assist, Cruise Control etc. Thanks for your great videos.

When I drive along scenic routes in my province (few people live there), there is no mobile coverage, so I assume Android Automotive will not function in those locations, which is why I still use the Porsche GPS navigation as a backup to Android Auto or CarPlay for navigation. I assume the same would happen driving the Dalton Highway in Alaska.

Any chance you can add a few things into a video to explain? Brake use to put the hold on. Switching the car on and then off for leaving the car. Ps: I’m enjoying your content🎉

Can the EX30 play music from the Amazon Music app?

With Google, you cant turn off anything related to safety features. I think it's related to European standards but I could be imagining that! Oh, good taste in music 🙂

Isnt it possible to download apple music ?

I just got mine. The Google assistant is so disappointing. I hope they push an update through so you can control all the car's features.

Thanks for making this video. Not enough reviewers go through infotainment when it's literally one of the main things I consider when buying a new car. Does Automotive Play Store also has A Better Route Planner and RU-vid Music?

You are hitting it out of the park my friend... Please show us how to put the car in "N" Neutral.

I’m expecting mine EX30 in May or June to be delivered. On the option list i saw Appleplay. Is this not yet available? And will the whole info system be taken over by ApplePlay? I don’t like Google at all. And hoping te get ApplePay. What are your predictions?

Can you raise up/down windows by vocal commands?

How can you rearrange the quick access apps at the bottom of the screen, in your case Spotify, RU-vid, Camera etc

Any idea if Google Assistant can open / close windows on demand? Sorry if I missed that comment on the video.

Well, it’s a kind of pity that Volvo missed the chance to insert more commands to steer car systems. Hopefully some Volvo application developers saw your video and put some more commands into the next software update.

Can Waze plan routes with charging stops, like Google Maps?

can we use google map and other app like spotify or youtube in the same time?

But what if I don’t like Google and don’t want to give it my private data?? Can I use this car without Google?? Or can I opt out from stealing my private data??

Is there an Apple Music app?

How about Apple CarPlay ???

Not being able to control car functions using voice is just stupid, I really hope that is something they will fix before my car is delivered...

Netflix?

dont start my google assistent please :)
